It is necessary
- - spaghetti - 300 g;
- - fresh tomatoes - 100 g;
- - canned tomatoes - 200 g (or tomato paste);
- - garlic - 2 cloves;
- - onion - 1 pc.;
- - basil;
- - olive oil;

Instructions
Step 1
Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water for 7-12 minutes - according to the instructions on the pack. The specified amount of spaghetti is enough for 3 servings, if necessary, take more.
Step 2
Rinse fresh tomatoes and pour over boiling water to make it easier to remove the skin. Then peel and cut into small pieces. Peel the canned tomatoes and grind them in a blender (or wipe them by hand). They can be replaced with regular tomato paste. Peel and cut the garlic and onion into small pieces.
Step 3
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan. Put the garlic and onion there, lightly fry until golden brown. Then add canned tomatoes or tomato paste. Simmer over low heat, covered for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally. Then we send fresh tomatoes there and simmer for another 5-10 minutes. You can add a little salt and pepper to taste, or, conversely, add a pinch of sugar. Finally, season with basil leaves, which can be replaced with thyme or dried oregano. After that, you need to hold the sauce over low heat for 1-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let it brew a little.
Step 4
Put the finished spaghetti on plates, grease it a little with butter or olive oil. Put 2-3 tablespoons of tomato sauce on top. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan or other hard cheese. Serve hot.
